no one likes watching there character do something over 1000000 times for repatition, why do you think all the shards like uo gamers skill gain is easy and have like 800-900 players daily?
This has been discussed several times in the staff part of the forum and we've come to the conclussion that it is a good idea to make the skillgain easier than what it USED to be, but that it is NOT a good idea to make it much easier than it is now. Why? Because if we make it too easy then players will just get a char in notime and won't really "care about it" as much as they would've if they actually spent some time on getting it "ready to use". We need to think about the Imagine Nation legacy too, and when we merged they a lot of players and _VERY_ slow skillgain, we had quite a few players and real easy skillgain, so when merging we compromised and made pvp-skills fairly easy and crafting skills were still really hard. Now we've made crafting skills easier and pvp-skills very much easier than they used to be, but we can't make it any easier now or we'll pretty much turn into an ábyss shard or loose the "slow skillgain ideal" that Imagine Nation stood for.
Keep in mind that I'm not saying this as a player, but as a staffmember here who has had discussions with my fellow staffmembers upon something that will work for everybody involved. Sure XUO players may always find skillgain a little bit hard, but it's still SO MUCH easier than it used to be, and if they would've been here from the start they would know that.. we are doing what we can to satisfy all players, but we have to draw the line somewhere. I actually know for a fact that Reyn almost already has an ready-to-gank-with character, he told me at MSN, so it can't be THAT slow now can it? After all he has only been here for a few days..
